Where Leaders Connect. Outcomes Follow
MIPIM 2026 was a breakthrough year for Downtown in Business in Cannes.
Our programme was described by many delegates, partners and civic leaders as the best private sector-led programme at MIPIM – delivering high-profile events, influential networking, strategic introductions and genuine commercial opportunities for the businesses involved.
Now we are going even bigger for 2027.
Downtown in Business is expanding its MIPIM presence with a larger delegation, enhanced events programme, more targeted investor engagement and even greater connections to senior decision-makers from across the UK and international markets.
For businesses operating in property, regeneration, infrastructure, professional services, investment and development, being part of the DIB programme is not simply a branding opportunity. It is a strategic business development platform.
Our sponsors and partners benefit from: • Direct connections to mayors, council leaders, chief executives and regeneration directors • Introductions to investors, developers and key commercial partners • Speaking opportunities at high-profile events and roundtables • Significant brand exposure before, during and after Cannes • Inclusion in one of the most respected and commercially-focused programmes at MIPIM
Most importantly, we create an environment where conversations turn into opportunities.
At a time when UK regional cities are competing aggressively for investment and development, businesses need visibility, influence and
strong relationships more than ever before. Downtown in Business provides that platform.
Attached is our MIPIM 2027 sponsorship brochure, outlining the full range of partnership opportunities and benefits available.
And the really good news – DIB MIPIM 2027 partnership includes access to Downtown’s exclusive UKREiiF events in Leeds next year too.
If you are serious about growing your profile, strengthening your pipeline and positioning your business at the heart of the UK’s regeneration and investment agenda, then we should be talking.
